Not exactly attractive or unobtrusive, but impressive in a way by virtue of its monstrous size. Pevsner calls it "unnecessarily aggressive" and thinks the roofline is "menacingly angular" (Image]). It hardly seems to need saying that it was designed by Richard Seifert & Partners, 1971-72. It is currently a Holiday Inn.
